Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I flew home early from a two-month trip to Europe to surprise my boyfriend on his birthday. When I got to his house with a home baked cake from scratch and a quilt with silk-screened pictures from my trip, his roommate answered the door and said, "Oh sorry, he's out with his girlfriend." FML
Today, I found out that the money my boyfriend has "secretly" been putting away for the last two months is not for an engagement ring like I'd thought, but for a trip to Vegas I'm not invited to. FML
Today, I got back from my daughter's flat in Scotland. I got a flight there yesterday morning to surprise her on her 21st birthday. Nobody told her I was coming. When I got there, it turned out she decided to get a plane to London to surprise me. £200 on flights, and I didn't even get to see her. FML
Today, I wanted to surprise my long distance girlfriend by flying to her unannounced. When I arrived at her house, her family tells me that she herself boarded an unannounced flight to where I lived hours ago. Surprise. FML
Today, I flew into New Zealand to surprise my girlfriend on her trip. In the New Zealand Airport I received a text message saying she wanted to break up with me. I live in Michigan and just spent $1,500 for this romantic surprise. FML
Today, my fiancée bought me a luxury getaway to the Maldives, complete with a five-star hotel and first-class plane tickets. Too bad she used my credit card, with all the money I was saving for our wedding. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is booking my dream vacation to Bali with his brothers, 6 months after he told me we couldn't go on vacation this year because he doesn’t have the money. They planned this within a week. I had been planning it with him for months. FML
Today, after working another double shift because I want to buy my boyfriend a really expensive anniversary present, I get to his apartment to find him calculating in how many paychecks he'll be able to afford a Caribbean getaway. For himself. FML
Today, I spent 900 dollars on a ticket for my boyfriend to visit me and he missed the flight. FML
Today, my partner's mother and I had been planning a little surprise get-together for his birthday. A surprise weeks in the making was ruined by my dad asking, "Aren't you supposed to be going to (his parent's town name) this afternoon?" in front of him. Thanks dad. FML

You could go with him, but that is depending only if the tickets overlap, for those saying just go with him, she could have bought his for a completely different month then him. =/ Still, if you're buying him such a huge gift, it is best to check with others first, especially his parents because I am pretty sure they knew he had always wanted to go as well.

If she did buy a ticket for a different time, can't she get it changed (assuming they're far enough in advance) to match his? I'm not sure how it works, last time I flew I was 16 so my parents were still taking care of tickets and what not...I imagine if it's possible, they would charge a hefty fee for it but hey, she'd still wind up going to Ireland =)

@ #20, I'll make sure to go over there strictly to piss you off and make sure i wear orange if you're a Catholic or a cross if you're a Protestant but i will take you down to the pub and buy you some Arthurs afterward

oh oh oh, that hurt so bad. u can go to hell, i stick by all my opinions. i know they're right. and u can stop acting like u know what ur talking about it just makes u seem like even more of a jackass. and i am catholic, wearing orange won't make a slight difference to me. most catholics wouldn't strictly relate wearing orange to nordies.

ok that's just funny, and not an FML so much as a minor annoyance but it'll probably work out better in the end so STFU
